Dr. Shokooh shares the differing heart disease symptoms between women and men.
Dr. Shokooh:
In studies we have seen that the presentation is different, whether that question I tell you that we really do not know why they did present differently, but they do present differently. Still chest pain is the highest the most known presentation, but other studies have shown that lots of women do not have chest pain at all and they come with indigestion and shortness of breath.
